US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee launches a broadside against France and Britain for their escalating rhetoric and actions pressuring Jerusalem to end the war in Gaza and alleviate the humanitarian crisis there.

Speaking to Army Radio, Huckabee declines to say whether the US is planning actions to defend Israel from the measures, but he does say he’s “outraged” by the actions of the UK and France, “who were attacked by the Nazis in World War II.”

The two countries “need to go back and remember their history,” he charges, adding that rather than settle for a “draw,” those countries “bombed the heck out of Germany, and that’s what ended the war, it was a decisive victory.”

He slams the “hypocrisy” of Paris and London for now demanding that Israel end the war without completely defeating Hamas, letting the terror group “claim they won.”
